Take for example the 1934 short Scrappy’s Toy Shop. Through the whole cartoon, Scrappy’s little brother is a destructive jerk, finally using a doll’s panties as a slingshot to knock down Scrappy with a cannon ball.
But that’s not the bizarre part.
Scrappy comes to, then Oopy puts on the doll’s hair, sprouts lipstick and eyelashes, sashays over like Mae West and comes on to his own brother. Scrappy smirks and drifts off into dreamland. Is he dreaming of Mae West? He’s a prepubescent child!
If the credits are to be believed, Sid Marcus wrote the story.
Sorry for the fuzzy frames. This is the best the internet has to offer.
Not quite the same level of cross-dressing entertainment as Sid having Bugs dress up as a Tasmanian She-Devil 20 years later....
